I am reaching my ancestor Alfred Mautschke.He was born on November 25 1866 in Frankfurt on the Oder I believe. He died on January 22 1919 in New York City. I believe that his father was John Mautschke. He was married to Anna Koechel. Her parents were Ernest Koechel and Louise Schmidt I believe. Alfred and Anna may have been married in Frankfurt on the odor or in Silesia Germany. I believe that Anna may have been born or lived in Silesia perhaps in Breslau. Any help concerning their life in Europe would be appreciated.2016-12-01 04:37:22ZUu913http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.ceeurope.germany.brandenburg.general/4068/mb.ashxAW: Wilhelm August Diedrich Groke http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.ceeurope.germany.brandenburg.general/4067.1.1/mb.ashx

They do not have a son, but have a daughter listed as Rose. The birth dates &amp; ages work both ways, except Rose was their granddaughter not their daughter. Charles was her father.

Hi all. I just stumbled across this thread in my most recent search....after being out of this for well over a decade. I'm glad that I found this, and I'm grateful for the maps.<br><br>I know Berlin well, and I've been up there numerous times since 1990, when I was first stationed in Germany (I still remember the U.S./Allied and Soviet troops there, before the draw-down of the 1990s).<br><br>As far as the location of the church goes, the Alexanderplatz area was behind the Wall, in the former East Germany, after WW2. This was part of the area that Erich Honnaker (the East German Chancellor) tore down for his building projects, so it makes sense (in that aspect) that the damaged church was torn down instead of being repaired. That said, I estimate that the church was about 400 meters (according the the map given by vickysmith124), at a 45 degree angle, from the Alexanderplatz train station. The streets in that area are different now, but that would make the location right at the current location of a place called the Sky Club Berlin (amongst others). The road reference is Alexanderstrasse, and between "Bernhard-Weiß-Straße" and "Otto-Braun-Straße." The location may have also been behind that building, which is called the "Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung."<br><br>I am happy, too, that the records survived. My great-great-grandparents (my dad's paternal grandmother's parents...Gustav Adolf Schmeidel and Margaret Bautz) were married in this church before departing for New York City (where my dad's grandmother, Elisabeth, was born on 11 May 1886). Gustav was born on 12 April 1942, and christened in this church on 1 May 1842.<br><br>Anyone else here have any connections to them?<br>2016-02-06 23:08:43Ztrickmastrhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.ceeurope.germany.brandenburg.general/1647.2.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: KOCHRIAN of Gollnitz, Brandenburg, Germanyhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.ceeurope.germany.brandenburg.general/4052.1/mb.ashx

Thank you so much Thomas. Yes Cheryl is a cousin. I have not heard from her since she went to Poland. <br>Thank you for that information. It is so wonderful to see their names.

Hello, I just recently got back into genealogy and discovered your post from a few years back. Yes, i would love to get the name and any info and on a family tree that might lend an idea of migration for my past family members. For the life of me I cannot find any further info about n the colony, so if you have even the most minute detail it would be most appreciated! Also, the email I originally posted for the 2004 inquiry was cancelled years ago.

Eulene - In case it's helpful to your Milwaukee, Wisconsin research, there's a pretty good representation of Britzmann Brötzmann Broetzmann found in an index found in Milwaukee collections called "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (covering 1844-1950).

There's a pretty good representation -- 100+ entries or references -- of Milwaukee's Schimmelpfennig (but not Schimmelpfenning) families found in the local German-American press. They've been listed in a resource called "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950). <br>I checked to see if there was any reference to your Karl &amp; Angela listed in other family entries.
